Time to turn my baby wood hauler into a plow.

Will use one of two snowblowers. Toro two stroke is a little powerhouse. The craftsman 26" probably will sit this one out.
 
Several years ago just before a crazy snow forecast we decided to buy a snowblower, however they were out of them, everybody was out. But sears had a snow blade and the guy said that's all you need.

Well, not knowing anything, i bought that blade but he didn't tell me you need weights and chains. We got 28" that next day, the plow did nothing, I had to shovel anyway.

This little plow does work well, but over 15" it becomes a real chore, but it's still a lot of fun.

Why do you have two snowblowers?

Why not? I have a John Deere 732 for a back-up to my Honda Rincon 650 with 48" plow on it. I did use the JD for the first time last storm just to see how well it worked. Not bad at all, but it picks up a lot of rocks (my driveway is millings, about 800' long) and the quad just does it faster. Nothing wrong with having a back-up. Thats why I have 3 saws also, and I think I "need" another one >>
We got about 8" out of the storm the other day
